Chapter 3
That day, the three boys fall in Love. Some of them fall in love at the first sight, some fall deeper and deeper in love, each time at the sight of their love ones.
They sat on the roof of the student residence. Leaning against the railing, while stargazing. Telling each other how their day went by, and how fate played with them.
Yoh still held the red bandana, from the girl Anna close to his heart. "That´s it! My decision is firm. Tomorrow morning I will go to the girl's college. Knock on the door, search for her and when I find her, I will look her deep in her eyes and... Ask her out!", Yoh stated confident with a grin on his face, still holding the bandana tight. "That´s my plan! What do you guys think? Hey Horo!", Yoh fixed his eyes at Horo. "Is she going to be just a good friend all your life?", Yoh asked while placing a hand on Horo´s shoulder.
"No! She was long enough just a good friend. There must finally be something happening.", Horo answered while standing tall and pushing his chest out.
"Thats the spirit!", Yoh called out while pumping his fist in the air. "And what about you, Ren?"
"I will definitely see her again. I guarantee you, but nothing will happen. It´s like a sweet dream.", Ren answered calm with crossed arms.
"What?!", both Horo and Yoh called out.
"You know the deal! What Mister Marco Lasso told us at the open ceremony. The X-Law University has strict rules, strict rules, break them and you will be suspended.", Ren explained.
"Relax, maybe he just wanted to frighten us. You must not take everything so seriously.", Yoh said with a smile.
"Mister Lasso´s words are law here. He has already done once, he will do it again.", Ren said while his eyes were fixed in the distance.
"What has he done?", Horo asked confused.
Ren turned to face both boys and said:" I will tell you the story. A few years ago there was a student. He was the best student in his class. Everyone knew, that he will be very successful after he graduated. But... he just made one mistake. He broke the rules.", Ren looked first at Horo and then at Yoh.
"He fell in love." , Ren walked pass them and stopped, not turning around. "The director suspended him without hesitation. Mister Lasso did not even listen to him. And it´s true, whoever will be suspended from this University, is nowhere to be accepted... no one knows where he is today. It´s like he disappeared. Maybe he is death... But the girl he fell so deeply in Love commit suicide. She was... Marco Lassos only child.", Ren turned around to face his friends again.
Yoh and Horo glanced at each other stunned, just then Ren continues.
"But who ever thought that this event would melt the heard of our director, was false. He just became even more severe.", Ren walked slowy towards both boys and placed a hand on Yoh´s shoulder and said:
"I am not coward and certainly not weak, but I'm not stupid to deal with Marco Lasso. Good Night.", with that Ren walked passed them into the warmth of the building.
Horo took out the photo from his pocket and looked at it and sighed. "Huh. Maybe some love stories are not meant to be...to be more than just friends"
Yoh send him a sad smile. Then he took the red bandana and started to fold it neatly. "Loved one, you have to wait. Until someone save us from Mister Marco Lasso."
xXx
In the morning air of a new busy day charged with appointments. Marco Lasso made his way over the campus wearing like usual a black suit, a pair of black shoes and his trademark glasses. While walking to his office room the director room, he passed students and teachers.
"Ah Mister Shira, have you prepared the papers as I wanted?", Marco asked, his voice emotionless as usual.
"Yes! I am finished.", Shira answered tensed.
"Good. Please bring them to my office.", Marco told him calm.
"Yes sir.", Shira replied calmer.
"Thanks", with that Marco walked off. But before he could enter the building he heard a melody. A violin, Marco thought and turned around, looking for the culprit, who dared to play music on his plot of land. He searched for the cause of his annoyance, till he walked to the entrance of the building. On the stairs of the entrance sat a blond man with his back toward the director, playing his instrument. A little girl next to him, but after seeing the cold face of the director she run away.
"What´s the meaning of this?", Marco asked annoyed when he was just standing a few feet behind that stranger.
The stranger stopped and opened his eyes. After a few seconds he stood and turned around. He climbed the last few stages up and was now facing the director.
"Good morning sir.", the stranger started politely with a gentle smile on his face. "I am Johann George Faust VIII. I have an appointment with you today."
"Our students have the goal to learn as much as possible. Don´t you think it is inappropriate to make such noise in a place like this?", Marco questioned while anger lingered in his voice.
"Oh... I am really sorry sir, but there was this little girl seeing my violin and asking me if I could play a bit for her. I couldn´t say no to a little Girl.", Faust replied smiling.
"The most important thing here is to follow the rules. Let´s go.", Marco told the blond with a cold voice before turning around, leading the way to his office.
xXx
Marco was seated in his office chair reading the application of the blond boy. Faust just waiting patiently, while sitting in front of the director. Between them were the large desk of the director. Quite organized, but over loaded. With a loud impact landed the folder on the table. Marco´s cold stare were now directed at Faust. "You are a teaching music.", Marco stated.
"Yes sir", Faust replied confident.
"You are asking me, for permission teach music here in this building.", Marco said, leaning back in his seat while his intertwining his hands.
Faust just nodded.
"Although, you know about the traditions."
Faust nodded again, while crossing his legs.
"Although, you know, that this subject has never been taught at this institution. And this should remain so."
"Yes sir", Faust nodded again.
"I know about your three job offers. Nevertheless, you came all the way here just to apply. Why?!", Marco asked slowly.
"I was told, that I could never teach music here in this institution. Everyone told me, I would fail. But I am not afraid of difficulties. On the contrary, I love challenges. They make me stronger.", Faust answered, his smile never leaving his face.
"How did you come up with the idea, that I would changed my mind?", Marco challenged.
"I've heard a lot about you. I believe that you also belong to the people who are fond of challenges. Hm?", Faust said not afraid to glance in his cold eyes.
Marcos cold stare is unchanged. He stood up and walked through the room. "How can my students benefit from this?"
"Sir, the students are spending most of their time with learning. Music will help them to relax, to reduce stress. Also it will be easier to gain new Knowledge, when they deal with music...", Faust was cut off.
"What if no one is interested in this subject?", the director asked while he slowly walked back to his seat.
"That´s no problem sir, I just have this small travel back with me. I will just pack it and make my way back.", Faust replied smiling even wider.
Marco was now standing between the table and his office chair. "I like how confident you are.", he started.
"Thank you sir.", Faust said.
"I will give you a chance. I will hire you, if you find students, who will occupy themselves while dealing with their main studies."
"Agreed"
"Otherwise you will go back", Marco stated.
Faust stood up "That sounds fair, sir.", he stretched out his hand to shake the directors hand.
"Good Luck, Mister Faust.", Marco replied without taking his hand and leave the room immediately.
xXx
"Where sir?", a janitor asked Faust, while carrying two chairs.
"Just leave to me.", replied the music teacher.
The janitor placed the chairs down and made his way back, leaving Faust by himself. He was outside in front of the building, placing just enough chairs under the roof of a garden pavillion. The pavillion was large enough to accommodate a whole class, and was build with stones. Faust placed the chairs in the same manner, like you would set up a classroom. The chairs of the students facing the chair of the teacher.
Just when the bell was about to rang, Faust sat down in his chair, his violin ready to be play music.
The bell rang and students were storming out of the building. He closed his eyes and played. Soon the air was filled with music, catching the attention of the students. First he played a slow piece of music, but soon the sound changed. He played faster to change the atmosphere, making the song dramatic.
The students were stunned. Some impressed and did not dare to say a word, while others were whispering to each other. Some just ignored him and made their way back to their rooms. But not an option for Yoh, Ren and Horo, they were the first one to walk up to Faust and seated themselves in front of Faust. Soon others followed. When the music from the violin stopped, Faust opened his eyes and glanced at his new students with a smile.
xXx
"You have chosen a really nice classroom,Mister Faust.", Marco said while glancing through his office window down to the pavilion, his back facing Faust.
"I am sorry sir, but I thought if the students were staying outside in the evening, then the tiredness would pass away.", Faust replied.
"Today teen more students have registered for the subject.", Marco noticed. "You have achieved a lot in this short are hired. Here is your employment contract. Read it carefully!"
"Thank you sir!", Faust said while stretched out his hand to shake the directors hand.
Marco just glared at it. Then he looked Faust in the eyes and said:" Mister Faust.", Marco started with cold eyes. "Since you are now a part of this school, I would like to explain something to you. I lead this institution now for about twenty-five, with respect and discipline."
Faust nodded.
"And since twenty-five years nothing has changed. That´s the reason why, this institution still shines. Just like twenty-five years ago. Yesterday, you moved chairs. Tomorrow you want change something else. I don´t like things being changed. I do not tolerate any further.", Marco said with a hard stare.
"I understand, sir.", Faust said calm with a light smile.
"Welcome at the X-Laws University, Mister Faust.", Marco said and stretched his right arm to Faust.
"Thank you, sir.", Faust replied and took Marcos hand and shook it.
